Papers are by recollections-blue and pink, Georgia Pacific-white. The ribbons are by Clear Dollar Stamps-Tropical Mist 5/8"satin, Details and Accessories- pink grosgrain, the butterfly ribbon is from Michaels. The mini buttons and pink flower button are by Favorite Findings.Adhesives used are ATG runner, Gluedots and Recollections sheet adhesive.
The ribbon flower was made as follows:
1. Cut a 1" circle out of the sheet adhesive.
2. Cut 2 1/4" stripes of ribbon. I used 14-16
3. Starting at the outer edge of the adhesive circle place the end of a ribbon strip. Fold over and place the other end right above it.
4. Go around the circle.
5. Now go in between these loops with the next row of ribbon. Using a glue dot where needed.
6. Cut with wire cutters the loop on the back of the button off. This way it will lie down on the ribbon better.
7. Place a glue dot on the back of the flower button and glue to the center of the ribbon flower.
8. Peel off the backing of the adhesive circle and place on your card.

"Hello Everyone Welcome!"

I love to scrap and make cards. I also paint in oil, pastel, and watercolor. Art in some form has always been a part of my life since I was coloring in a coloring book and playing with play dough. Thanks to Mom we always had some kind of dough to play with, mostly homemade. My 3 brothers and I loved it! In the 5th grade I had a teacher who liked art and opened up crafts to me. Then at an action an oil painting kit was in a box of things my Dad wanted. Oh how I loved it! Talking about being happy! My first oil painting in the 8th grade with Mrs. Hughes was of a flamingo. Idid a Painted Bunting-bird in the 9th grade. My folks got a divorce then and I stopped drawing and painting. Divorces do hurt kids! I started babysitting when 16 years old and started drawing and doing crafts with the children I kept. it brought me great joy. I met a wonderful man in 1995 and married him in 1996. He encouraged me to take painting lessons. Thanks Lloyd for a wonderful gift. In 1999 my husband died. I still miss him. I started scrapbooking and card making in 2003. I have learned a lot but know there is much, much more out there to learn. every day I learn something new. Thanks to all who have taught me along the way wether you know it or not. Edwina Brown
